|

[96f1ce6] | 7 | the appropriate commands in the subject header of the message.</para>

[b822811] | 9 | <para>As the name implies, the <emphasis>Set command</emphasis> tells what

[c6b978bf] | 10 | to write to set a mode. The <emphasis>Unset command</emphasis> tells
|

[b822811] | 11 | what to write to unset a mode.</para>

[1b256332] | 14 | listname to which

| 15 | the mode is going to be applied to. If more than one mode is to be set (to
|
---|
[93af6c3] | 16 | the same list or multiple lists) with one email, this can be done by
|
---|
[96f1ce6] | 17 | leaving the subject header blank and writing all the commands in the body of
|
---|
[b822811] | 18 | the message instead.</para>

[b822811] | 30 | <para>All lists have the digest mode available which can be set after a user

[1b256332] | 31 | has subscribed to a list. Being in digest mode will
|
---|
[96f1ce6] | 32 | cause you to stop receiving individual messages as they are posted to
|
---|
| 33 | the list and instead receive one email a day containing all
|

[b822811] | 34 | the messages posted to the list during that day.</para>

[c6b978bf] | 35 |

[b822811] | 36 | <para>There is a second digest mode called digest2. When a user is set to this

[1b256332] | 37 | mode he will receive the daily digests but will also continue to
|
---|
[2483c44] | 38 | receive the individual messages to the lists as they are posted. To
|
---|
[2a761d4] | 39 | set this mode, substitute <emphasis>digest</emphasis> for
|

[96f1ce6] | 40 | <emphasis>digest2</emphasis> in the command.</para>

[96f1ce6] | 53 | messages from the lists but doesn't want to unsubscribe, he can change
|

[1b256332] | 54 | to vacation mode. This has the same effect as unsubscribing,
|

| 55 | but without having to go through the unsubscribe process and
|
---|
[b822811] | 56 | then later through the subscribe process again.</para>
